I'm way more used to carrying in Alaska than Idaho. I usually packed a NM Super blackhawk cut down to 5-1/2" in 44 mag which is one of my oldest carrying guns, or a Ruger Alaskan 454 loaded with Buffalo bore 325 grain hard casts. Sometimes a Ruger Redhawk 4" also 44 mag. Here in Idaho I'd include a 4" Ruger Security Six 357 mag with 170 - 180 grain hard cast would get included. As others have said if I am carrying a rifle I'll probably have a Ruger Single Six that I've carried for several years.
